About me
I started my love affair with the piano at 8 years old. Not loving my teacher, I gave up at 9 and a half and spent many years teaching myself chords and playing by ear.
Luckily for me, in my 20s, I succeeded in singing and playing piano in wonderful 5 star hotels around the world for many years.
This includes a year's contract in The American Bar at the Savoy Hotel in London, The Meridian Hotel in London, The Hong Kong Hotel in Kowloon, and The Taj Palace in Delhi. I also became a session singer for the BBC Radio 2 Orchestra.
In my 30s I got a BA Hons Degree, studying Jazz at Middlesex University and gaining a first in Music in Education .
I then created a niche for myself in education and never looked back.
I continue to take pride in being able to help people achieve their musical potential.
